Barely a day goes by where I don't imagine terrible things happening to the people who bullied me.
I would do it, too. I don't feel any mercy for them. I doubt they have souls, let alone feelings, anyway. There's tons of people like them, nothing would be lost.
The law is an obstacle, but honestly, if I ever find myself cornered in life, what would I have left to lose?
No, the only thing that truly keeps them safe from paying for what they did is that there is no physically possible torture that I could inflict upon them that would equal to what they did to me. My childhood was stolen. My adolescence, ruined. I might never quite be okay. I might never be able to fully trust anyone.
Thus, seeking revenge is pointless. I'd go to all that effort, but ultimately, it could never satsify me. Not because revenge is hollow, but it is simply not possible to supply a sufficient punishment for their crimes.
i feel the same way exactly, but not about online bullies, because they cant do much. i mean bullies in real life, and it has to be something real bad. as a child, the grownups jumped the line in the grocery store each and every time. they stood behind me, but went above my head, and if i said something, they would yell "shut up, i'm older than you are." and act menacing. i was afraid, so i stayed for an hour in the grocery store, and then when everyone was gone, the b***h behind the counter would give me a look even i could read, 'i could kill you.' and turned her back and made me wait some more.
there were a millions other things, of course, but i wont even get into them because it's too long a list. we aspies get bullied constantly. yes, those people dont have a soul, they're not human, and from watching feral cats and dogs, i can safely say they usually act much better.
but what you have to remember is, yes, they have bullies online, but there are genuine people who wont bully you. if you want a friend, you can probably find one here. it's easy. and dont let one or two people who bully you chase you off the forum! assuming it will happen. if someone bullies you, block that person and keep talking to the people you feel comfortable with. dont let a few bad experiences stop you from finding a friend online.
where you bullied in aspie forums or nt? i do believe bullying probably happens much less in aspie forums.
Sorry, I didn't make it clear. I was bullied in real life, for most of my childhood, everything from name calling to holding a piece of broken glass to my neck.
